Strategy
Long Entry Rules
Place buy order(s) if the following indicator or chart pattern gets displayed:
- If the lime banded bars of the SEFC05 custom indicator is aligned somewhat below the candlestick as seen on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be pressured higher i.e. a signal to buy the asset of focus.
- Wait for the blue and red dotted lines of the newMACD.ex4 custom indicator to break above the 0.00 level and once this is confirmed as illustrated on Fig. 1.0, the sentiment in the market is said to be bullish i.e. a signal to enter long position(s).
Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss 2 pips below immediate support.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry
Exit or take profit if the following takes center stage on the activity chart:
- If price opens and closes below the banded bars of the SEFC05 custom indicator during long entries, price is said to be making a reversal from its earlier bullish trend, hence an exit or take profit is advised.
- If the blue line of the newMACD.ex4 custom indicator breaks below the 0.00 level while a buy signal is ongoing, then we can say that price is taking a swing to the downside i.e. an exit or take profit is recommended.
Sell Entry Rules
Enter a sell entry if the following rules or conditions are in place:
- If the orange banded bars of the SEFC05 custom indicator is aligned somewhat above the candlestick as seen on Fig. 1.1, price is said to be pushed lower i.e. a signal to sell the asset of interest.
- Ensure the blue and red dotted lines of the newMACD.ex4 custom indicator break and hovers below the 0.00 level and once this is confirmed as depicted on Fig. 1.1, the sentiment in the market is said to be bearish i.e. a signal to enter short position(s).
Stop Loss for Sell Entry: Place stop loss 2 pips above immediate resistance.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Sell Entry
Exit or take profit if the following holds sway:
- If price opens and closes above the banded bars of the SEFC05 custom indicator during a bearish trend, price is said to be making a reversal from its earlier bearish stance, hence an exit or take profit will do.
- If the blue line of the newMACD.ex4 custom indicator breaks above the 0.00 level while a sell alert is ongoing, then we can say that price is taking a push to the upside i.e. an exit or take profit is recommended.
